Really clever game, the text effect is really impressive as well. I’m curious, did you do it with a shader or multiple sprites for each letter?

Thanks! I used pico-8’s sget and sset to read and modify the pixels on the spritesheet. (so, essentially a shader, as far as I’m aware)

Basically, when a word is typed, each letter has a chance to mutate by either gaining/losing pixels randomly, or “blobbing” together via a basic cellular automata
